ClankerNews.com - I've checked and I don't see it as a website. It is parked free, courtesty of GoDaddy.com. There should be a website as there is a lot of clanker news.
Brookfield announced it has partnered with Figure AI to develop humanoid robots to fold laundry. That's what the Globe and Mail said today. I hadn't thought of Brookfield as owning laundromats and dry cleaning facilities. It would be hotels, hospitals and dry cleaning establishments who do lots of laundry. Somewhere in those Brookfield assets worth $1 trillion, there must be laundry. I thinkof the cleaning people one sees in places like First Canadian Place. They are discreet, but they are present, dusting the little ledges and shining the marble walls. Tomorrow it will be the clankers.
Wait! It isn't tomorrow - it is today. A Sacramento laundromat introduced AI robot for folding laundry - the news came out yesterday.
"Monster Laundry in Midtown Sacramento has become the first laundromat in North America to use an AI robot, named Sophy Swiftfold, to assist with folding laundry, aiming to lighten the workload for its attendants. "This is the first laundry in all of North America to have a production folding robot," said Craig Taylor, co-owner of Monster Laundry. The owners say the robot assists in folding, which typically takes over an hour, allowing attendants to process additional loads."
Say it and it happens.
Yes, there still are track roads in orchards. We haven't paved everything yet.
